What are remarkable aspects of Environmental Engineering Major at International University?

  • 100% of the program is taught in English, with updated teaching materials, and most of the curriculum follows the American standards. All faculty members, both local and international, have graduated from advanced countries and possess extensive teaching experience.
  • The program emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, with practical components integrated into most subjects. This approach aims to provide students with strong professional skills that meet the needs of the workforce.
  • The university places special emphasis on investing in modern equipment and models to facilitate practical teaching. This ensures that every student has the opportunity to access and utilize technological devices in solving real-world problems.
  • The training program is designed flexibly, offering various elective modules to allow students to explore different career paths in the future, whether as engineers, entrepreneurs, or pursuing further studies to become lecturers or researchers.
  • The training program adopts the CDIO approach, aligning with the standards of ABET, AUN-QA, and benchmarking against equivalent programs at reputable universities worldwide. This ensures the program meets the desired learning outcomes and the recruitment needs of domestic and international companies, particularly foreign companies and non-governmental organizations.
  • The department regularly conducts surveys to gather feedback from employers and alumni, in order to update the necessary knowledge and skills in the training program. This ensures that the program remains closely aligned with the practical needs of society.

What are the differences between the Natural Resources and Environmental Management field and the Environmental Engineering field?

The Environmental Engineering field is the discipline that utilizes science, technology, and engineering to address environmental pollution issues.

The Natural Resources and Environmental Management field, on the other hand, is a discipline that employs management tools such as measures, laws, economic policies, and social policies to protect environmental quality and promote sustainable socio-economic development of a country.

What are potential job prospects for Environmental Engineering graduates?

Environmental Engineering graduates can pursue various career paths, such as:

  1. Business Engineer: Engaging in consulting services and providing optimal solutions, equipment, and utility services in water supply, wastewater treatment, waste management, air pollution control, and HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) services.
  2. Design and Operations Engineer: Responsible for designing and operating water, air, soil, and solid waste treatment systems in manufacturing plants, both domestic and international, as well as centralized wastewater, air, and solid waste treatment facilities.
  3. Management Engineer: Participating in environmental impact assessment and managing water, air, and solid waste treatment systems in private organizations, government agencies, international entities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
  4. Research Engineer: Engaging in research, design, and operation of new environmental treatment technologies, conducting sustainable solutions for environmental treatment in universities, research institutes both domestic and international, and environmental manufacturing and service companies.
  5. Environmental Lecturer: Graduates can continue their education and enhance their qualifications to teach environmental courses at vocational training centers, high schools, institutes, and universities.

These are some potential career paths for Environmental Engineering graduates, offering opportunities in various sectors related to environmental management, engineering, research, and education.

Parents and students wonder whether doing environmental jobs cause bad effects to human health or not?

Does Environmental Engineering program require students to engage in practical exercises extensively?
How will students be assisted in gaining a better understanding when applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations?

The principle of ‘Learning by Doing, with Students at the Center’ is the teaching and learning strategy of the faculty, researchers, and specialists in the Environmental Engineering Department. Therefore, most of the courses in the field integrate practical credits to help students gain a better understanding of the subject matter. Diverse teaching methods are employed to enable students to develop professional skills and explore their individual abilities.

The department also invites experts in the field to participate in teaching, providing students with a deeper understanding of practical applications. Additionally, students have the opportunity to engage in field visits to relevant facilities and undergo practical internships at foreign companies with environmental departments. With the diverse range of practical activities in the field, students will undoubtedly gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry through hands-on experience.

Does studying Environmental Engineering require students to have a good understanding of social knowledge?

Understanding social knowledge is an advantage when studying Environmental Engineering. Any technical or environmental management solution is determined based on the context and social needs. Recognizing the importance of social knowledge in these two fields, the training program of the major is designed using the CDIO approach, which is based on social needs to determine the student learning outcomes, and subsequently develop the curriculum and training plans. Within this framework, social knowledge and skills related to the field, such as understanding politics and laws, knowledge of the business environment, teamwork skills, and communication skills, are integrated and taught in the program.

For majors related to the environment, do candidates need to excel in Chemistry or Biology, or are there any specific requirements for the field?

The Environmental field is related to the application of knowledge in the natural sciences. Therefore, candidates who wish to pursue this field are not necessarily required to excel in Chemistry or Biology. However, if candidates excel in Chemistry or Biology, it can be an advantage for in-depth research and application of knowledge in managing and addressing environmental issues.

Similar to other fields in Engineering and Technology, candidates interested in Environmental studies should have a passion for exploring the environment, discovering various techniques, technologies, and tools for addressing environmental issues.

Does Environmental Engineering program at our university have distinctive features that attract students (such as exchange programs, internships abroad, and internship support)?

In addition to the unique integrated training program and modern facilities at the International University, the exchange programs and internships abroad are also special features of these two fields at the International University. Every year, the International University organizes numerous exchange programs and internships. The faculty members have graduated from foreign universities and have research collaborations with renowned institutions worldwide, providing students with opportunities for research internships abroad.

My English speaking skills may be a bit weak, but my other skills are quite good, so can I keep up with the curriculum?

English proficiency is a common issue among new students at the university. Students admitted to the International University will take an English proficiency test at the beginning of the course, either the TOEFL iBT or IELTS. The results are used to classify students’ English proficiency levels.

Students can enroll directly in the official program if they achieve a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 60 or an IELTS score of 6.0. If students do not meet the minimum English proficiency requirements, they will undergo intensive English classes for one or two semesters, depending on their proficiency level.

 

The intensive English program is designed with different levels, following the TOEFL iBT/IELTS format, to help students gain the necessary abilities and confidence to pursue the regular program.

Students who already have English certificates (TOEFL iBT, IELTS) will be placed in classes according to their corresponding proficiency levels.

Additionally, students can become members of English clubs such as the Film Club and English Speaking Club to further develop and enhance their listening, speaking, and presentation skills in front of an audience.
